Dans le grenier à sel 1975

Joan Miró made "Dans le grenier à sel" with graphic marks and a tight color palette of red, green, and blue. I can imagine him working and reworking the image plane, the whole thing shifting and emerging through intuition. Those deep black lines are so bold. They remind me a little bit of Franz Kline’s paintings. I wonder if Miró was looking at Kline, or maybe they were both just wrestling with similar ideas about space and form. The black paint is applied in layers, thick and purposeful. It's kind of beautiful, the way it confidently holds all the other colors in place. And those little pops of red, green, and blue are really lovely. They're like little moments of clarity amidst all the ambiguity. Miró is in dialogue with a long history of painting, inspiring future generations to embrace the unexpected. Instead of offering fixed meanings, his work invites us to bring our own experiences.
